Easter in the 'Burbs, c. 1960




























  Me, my cousin Marion (visiting from England), and my sister,  Easter 1960.



Marion was in her mid-twenties,  but my parents' policy was that everyone younger than they were get a basket.  My dad was still sending me See's chocolate rabbits when I was in my forties.

The routine during our childhood was an  Easter-egg hunt first, then church.  Which meant we were often in curlers and a hairnet (glammy!) during The Hunt.
